Our facility offers both private and semi-private rooms, while our family-centric approach includes regular therapy sessions, workshops, and updates to keep parents actively involved in their teenager’s recovery journey.
Does insurance cover treatment?
For most families, insurance covers all or part of teen addiction treatment costs thanks to federal regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
These important laws guarantee that insurance companies must provide coverage for substance use disorder treatment as part of their essential health benefits.
We accept most major insurance plans at Montville Adolescent Center, and we’re committed to helping families understand their coverage options.
Our admissions counselors will verify your benefits and explain exactly what your insurance will cover, including detox services, residential treatment, and therapeutic programs.

Parents and guardians can visit their teens during designated hours every Sunday at Montville Adolescent Center.
We recognize how important family connection is during treatment, which is why we’ve established clear visitation protocols to ensure productive and supportive interactions.
To maintain our therapeutic environment and ensure the safety of all residents, we require visitors to meet specific criteria.
All visitors must be at least 18 years old and be approved family members or legal guardians.
Additionally, we require visitors to attend a Family Support Session before their first visit, as this helps create a more meaningful visitation experience.
Our clinical staff carefully reviews and approves all visitor requests, ensuring that each interaction supports your teen’s recovery journey while maintaining program integrity.
Do you offer support to family members?
Yes, we believe family involvement is essential to successful teen recovery, which is why we provide multiple support services for family members.
Our extensive family support program includes regular family therapy sessions, educational workshops about addiction and mental health, and weekly progress updates from our clinical team.
We understand that having a teen in treatment affects the entire family system, so we’ve designed our support services to address everyone’s needs.

We’ll discuss any new medications or changes to existing prescriptions with parents or guardians before implementation, guaranteeing complete transparency in your teen’s treatment plan.
Our medical team works closely with your child’s current healthcare providers, which is why we request a signed Release of Information (ROI) form to facilitate communication with existing psychiatrists or primary care providers.

Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
Sending your teenager to an out-of-state treatment facility offers several significant advantages for their recovery journey. At our Montville facility, we’ve found that physical distance from familiar triggers and negative influences helps create a fresh start, allowing teens to focus entirely on their recovery without local distractions or pressures from peers.
While we’re conveniently located just 45 minutes from Manhattan, this strategic distance provides enough separation to minimize impulsive departures while still maintaining accessibility for family therapy and visits.
Additionally, our location offers exposure to a diverse group of peers from different backgrounds, which can broaden your teen’s perspective and support network.
We’ve also noticed that treatment away from home often increases commitment to the program, as teens are less likely to resist treatment when they’re in a new environment.
How do I get started?
Once you’re ready to seek help for your teen, starting treatment at Montville Adolescent Center is straightforward and quick. The process begins with a simple phone call to our admissions team, who’ll guide you through a brief 10-minute pre-assessment to guarantee we’re the right fit for your child’s specific needs.
After completing the initial assessment, we’ll work directly with your insurance provider to verify benefits and determine coverage options, making the financial aspects as transparent as possible.
If you don’t have insurance coverage, we’ll discuss alternative payment arrangements to guarantee your teen can receive the care they need.
Once these preliminary steps are complete, we’ll schedule an intake appointment that works with your schedule, allowing us to begin your teenager’s journey to recovery without delay.
